Man you do keep those specialists on their toes! E. coli in your lungs on top of the pneumonia whew!!!

I thought it was weird that you said you had radiation induced cataracts. How does that happen if we're not getting radiation to our eyes? My understanding is the radiation is, you know, a laser beam type of thing that is targeted to the specific areas in the head and neck that they want radiated. And by gosh I sure hope they aren't by chance directing that to our eyes!

Do your dogs lay with you and keep you company? How are you eating these days? Bummer that you have to wait for the sutures to come out, I remember waiting to have my sutures removed that was holding the bolster to my tongue, what a crazy experience that was.
